⏰ Reminder: Daylight Saving Time Begins Tomorrow!

Don’t forget to spring forward tomorrow. Set your clocks one hour ahead before going to bed tonight so you’re not running late in the morning.

While you’re at it, it’s also a great time to:
✔ Check smoke alarm batteries
✔ Review emergency plans
✔ Enjoy a little extra daylight in the evening

It’s National 211 Day 💙

211 connects people to critical resources like housing, food, healthcare, transportation, and crisis support, all with one simple call.

When someone dials 211, they are met with help, guidance, and hope. That impact is felt across our entire community.

Today, we celebrate the life-changing impact of 211—connecting millions to housing, food, healthcare, transportation, crisis support, and so much more.

If it weren’t for 211, the world we know today wouldn’t exist in the same way. Every call is hope. Every connection matters.

✨ National 211 Day starts with YOU.

Remember: Help is near… 211 is here!

These AI cartoons highlight just some of the incredible individuals who make HEALS happen every day and yes, more staff spotlights are coming! We will be adding new team cartoons periodically, so stay tuned 👀

From mobile clinics and school-based care to outreach and behind-the-scenes work, innovation helps us share our impact in new and creative ways, while our heart stays the same 💙medical, dental, and vision care for underserved children in Huntsville.
